How do they work?

Student led conferences will be held in your child’s learning space.

Please arrive on time to your booking as this is the time that you have booked into meet the homeroom / classroom teacher.

Each child will have a basic agenda that they will follow:-

1. Report on progress (half year) and answer any questions from the mid year report.

2. Goals and Next Steps learning for Term 3 & 4

3. Work, strengths and examples that they (student) are proud of

4. What is easy for me? What is tricky for me? What are my challenges?

5. What could we do together (student, home and school) to help with this learning?

6. Other Curriculum Interests (Science, Technology etc)

What will I need to do to support my child?

Before the conference

• Discuss attendance with any partner/s (if necessary) - each child will run only one conference so all parties need to attend this

• Book a time and put it in your diary (Details - times, dates etc below)

• Re-check the Agenda 1 - 6 as prompts

On the Conference Day

• Come with your child

• Listen - your child will do most of the talking

• He or she will discuss with you - progress towards achievement levels (½ year)

• Enjoy the opportunity to see your child in his/her key learning environment
  

• Celebrate your child’s personal progress to date

Please note

• The conference is primarily about learning (not behaviour or social issues). Please contact the classroom / home room teacher if you need a longer slot or a time in private. 

Those children normally in after school care will be supervised from 2:00pm in the hall on these two days.
